Good coverage until the end, after Gerrans won and we should have been seeing what was happening further back, they seemed to completely forget this in the programming as they didn't show anything at all from other riders. I started talking to the TV, show me what's happening.

Otherwise the coverage was quite good with a fair idea of distances to the end and between the peloton and breakaway groups.

Yes, this is exactly the point I made after stage 2. There was no mention that many of the riders who would have been expected to contest the finish had been caught up in a crash so the viewer was left wondering what had happened to them.

+ 1 Good points made.

Too many ads but hey it's commercial TV. Liggett and Sherwin really ground the coverage, to me they are uber familiar and make it ever so easy for me to tune in.
